HEY boys, attention please! If you want to go to the US, you'd better be fully prepared, because, well, you and the boys in the US are a bit different.
Firstly, know how to knot a tie. In the US, every boy above school age wears suits when they go to weddings. Do you know how to knot a tie? If you don't, learn how right now!
Secondly, be a gentleman. I know in China some boys are still proud of being strong. But in the US, a good man should also be polite.
The last is to learn something about football and baseball. Chinese boys like ping-pong, basketball and soccer, but American boys love football and baseball. They get very happy when they play and watch these sports. But in order to watch the sports with other boys, at least learning some rules would help.
We sometimes need to know the importance of another culture, but don't feel you have to know that if it makes you uncomfortable. Have fun along the way!

F. It's not necessary to be a fan of football or fix your TV channel to baseball games.
G. Here are two examples: holding the door for people behind you and giving the seat on a bus to old people.
